House Speaker John A. Boehner on Thursday flatly ruled out chances of the House passing the Senate’s immigration bill, saying his chamber will debate its own bill instead.
Mr. Boehner and his top GOP lieutenants issued a joint statement that seemed designed to tamp down some of the momentum behind the Senate bill, which emerged from a Senate committee on a bipartisan 13-5 vote earlier this week, and to stake out a House GOP position.
“While we applaud the progress made by our Senate colleagues, there are numerous ways in which the House will approach the issue differently,” the GOP leaders said in their statement. “The House remains committed to fixing our broken immigration system, but we will not simply take up and accept the bill that is emerging in the Senate if it passes. Rather, through regular order, the House will work its will and produce its own legislation.”
I certainly hope not.

ReplyDeleteThe first thing that needs to be done is this government needs to secure the borders. Take the National Guard and put them to work patrolling the borders. Put up a fence with barbed wire and electrify it. Add more Border Patrol Agents to patrol and enforce the law. The savings in welfare, Medicaid and food stamps alone with pay for this.
ReplyDeleteThe next thing to do is remove Obama and all Democrats and RINO's from office.

ReplyDeleteThe unions are against it. It was written by the DNC so as to get 13 million new democrat voters. The unions usefulness to the democrats has run out.
